Apologies if this should be in another forum.
My broadband usage seems to have gone through the roof in recent months.
All of the family like to surf and we are all on Facebook - my son also enjoys Minecraft (or did before the current Beta release).
My point is that previously our 40Gb limit was more than adequate, but in the past two months we have headed north past 60Gb.
We have tried limiting the amount of game time and streaming videos we watch and we don't download films.
We don't watch a huge amount of RTE Player (2-3 times a month for say 30-40 minutes if we miss a show or the news)
My suspicions for this increased usage is the streaming ads and mini-videos that seem to be cropping up "down the page" on many of the websites I read, often on News Media outlets.
If you scroll down you'll see some little video or Flash animation (with sound, no less!) streaming away, while you think you're reading a text heavy and graphics-light web page.
I was wonder had any AAM readers a similar experiences and/or could the point the way to a best reduce the bandwidth consumption.
Total Abstinence unfortunately is not an option.
TIA
